Dating back to 1809, The Old Bethel Chapel is a distinctive former chapel that enjoys a picturesque setting alongside the River Leven, with immediate access to the heart of Stokesley. Rich in character and heritage, this remarkable property was once a Calvinistic Independent Chapel before being acquired by the Salvation Army in 1924, later serving as a saleroom and job centre before becoming a private residence in 1958.
Sympathetically modernised while retaining its historic charm, the property offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hallway, a cloakroom/WC, and a cosy snug, in addition to a spacious living room and a formal dining room with French doors leading out to the garden. The modern kitchen is well appointed, featuring a range of contemporary units, tiled finishes, and a Smeg range cooker.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while three further double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. The windows throughout enjoy pleasant views of the gardens and surrounding area.
Externally, the beautifully tended rear garden is home to mature trees, established shrubs, and cobbled pathways, creating a tranquil outdoor retreat. A detached garage and driveway sit at the rear of the property, accessed via double gates which provide off-road parking.
The lawn and driveway in front of the house is manorial land held on a 99-year lease (from 2025) at £100 pa.
